Abbie was furious, but there was nothing else she could do.Her brother had never been so stern with
her, so she had no choice but to listen to him.
She had experienced her card getting cut off before, so she didn't want to risk it happening again.She
then left Climax Space in annoyance.
On her way back, she called Valeria, "Valeria, William is truly b*stard! I just went to Climax Space and
checked upon them.I know who the woman is."
"Who is it?"
"Have you heard of the talented daughter of the Anthony family? Her name is Paisley and she is
William's new lover.
"How is this possible?" Valeria was shocked.
"I thought it was impossible as well, but I had just confirmed it"
"Did William admit that he's in a relationship with Paisley?" Valeria asked shakily.
"He didn't admit it, but he denied your relationship.When I asked him, he said that you guys have
already broken up.Doesn't this mean the same thing?"
Abbie didn't want to make Valeria feel worse either.
But since William denied their relationship, there was no use pondering over it.
She would rather let Valeria hurt for a short while than let William put her in agony for a longer period of
time, "What do you plan to do, Valeria?"
After a while of silence, Valeria said, "I don't know”
"I think you should get ready to give him up.This isn't any ordinary woman, man.It's the talented and
beautiful Paisley Anthony”
"Alright.Thank you, Abbie."
"Valeria, are you alright?" Abbie was feeling uneasy.
"I'm fine.I knew that this day would come anyway.After hanging up, Valeria laid back down on her
bed.However, she couldn't fall back asleep.The scene of her arguing with William flashed in her
mind.She admitted that she was a bit harsh with him in a fit of anger.
But did he have to be so narrow-minded and heartless? He said that he would treat her like a queen
and he would be good to her for the rest of her life.
At the end of the day, it was just sweet words that guys used to coax women.
Luckily, she had never believed him completely.
Fine! They should just go their separate ways from now on.
Richard returned to the room in Climax Space after Abbie left.
William held a cigarette in his hand and continued throwing the dice as if nothing happened.
Richard then walked over and sat down.
He nudged William with his elbow and said, "I'm sorry about earlier.I' ve spoilt Abbie too much-"
"It's fine.I won't take it to heart"
William answered with a faint smile.
Richard knew that he meant what he said since they were as close as brothers.
The only reason he apologized was that Paisley was beside them.
Hence, he had to do it out of courtesy.
There was a faint smile on William's face.
He seemed to be fine as before, but Richard caught a glimmer of sadness in his eyes.
William must be really unhappy about something.
Or else, he wouldn't have been out of the room for such a long time.
William was exactly like him.
The more unhappy he was, the more he would try to act normal.He was worried about him.
But he couldn't say much when Paisley was still there.
So he took a look at his watch and said, "It's getting late, should we call it a day?"
"Yes, let's go” Michael agreed.
Then, they walked out and called for their chauffeurs and assistants to drive them back as they couldn't
drive after having a few drinks.
Once Paisley got on William's car, he said to Bobby, "Send Ms.Anthony back first."
As Bobby started the engine, William closed his eyes and laid back to rest.
Paisley, who was sitting next to him, looked out the window.
When they drove past the street lights, she could see William's handsome face reflected in the glass.
His intricate features were so attractive that her breath caught in her throat.
Even though he was really handsome, Paisley knew that he wasn't a reliable guy.
But still, she couldn't control the attraction she had towards him.
However, she didn't believe that he was a useless person.
He was accepted by one of the top universities at the mere age of 15.So he was definitely not just a
useless loafer.
Paisley guessed that there must be a reason why he became like this.His family was quite a mess, so it
must have something to do with Charles Howard.
She had to find out whether he was really just a playboy that had no talents.Nothing could be done if he
were born dumb or if he only cared about playing around.But a smart person that gave up halfway had
a chance to change his life.
Paisley was confident that she could bring William back on track.
The only reason why he closed his eyes was that he didn't want to talk.He wasn't drunk either as he
didn't drink much.He was just very annoyed.
Marcus had called him earlier to tell him that rumors of Hardy and Valeria had made the headlines.
Although Valeria's face couldn't be seen, William knew well enough about Hardy, who would never let
himself get caught in a scandal with someone else.
And since he didn't do anything to stop this rumor from spreading, it could only mean that Hardy
allowed it.
It was obvious that he was interested in Valeria.
William knew that he was up against a powerful rival.He was smart, handsome, and stylish.
Moreover, he was the only successor of the Anthony family.
All the rich ladies think of him as their ideal lover.
He could not compare to Hardy in the very least.He was only a playboy that had no great traits.
Moreover, Valeria did not think much of his status.If Hardy really tried to woo her, she would definitely
fall in love with him.
William felt threatened.He had originally planned to ignore Valeria for a few days.
But now, he didn't dare to risk his relationship with her.So he quickly went to WhatsApp to try and talk
to her.
Never did he expect to see Hardy's likes on her posts.
Seeing Hardy's like on her picture at Buxemburg, William immediately felt sad.Valeria added Hardy as
a friend so soon.
What did this mean? She liked Hardy.
William decided not to send her anything.
He would never do anything meaningless.
If Valeria had already liked Hardy, there was no use in clinging on to her.
He never liked being the kind of guy who pestered women.
He only clung to Valeria because she was his first girlfriend and he had really liked her.
Although he had decided to let go of her, he didn't feel happy about it.
But then again, he was already used to bearing everything on his own.
It should only be a matter of time before he forgot everything about Valeria.
Once the car stopped in front of the Anthony family's villa, William opened his eyes.
Bobby opened the door for Paisley and she walked out, followed by William.
He politely walked Paisley to the door.
"Thank you, Mr.Howard."
"You're welcome.See you next time, Ms Anthony"
"Goodbye!"
Paisley smiled at William and entered the villa.
When he saw that she had entered the villa, William turned around and got into the car.
The car soon sped off.
Hearing the sound of his car leaving, Paisley turned back and had a confused look in her eyes.Didn't
they say that William liked flirting with pretty women ? But he was very polite to her.
He didn't even ask for her contact number or WhatsApp.What was the reason?
"Am I not charming enough for him?"
